Which Canon digital SLR do you recommend?
Posted on May 30, 2009 under Digital news and reports |Someone recently just stole my new Canon Powershot SD1100, and I was just going to buy another one of those but I've always wanted to buy myself a digital SLR camera, and Canon would probably be my number one pick since I really liked my Powershot, so I was wondering which SLR people recommend?
I also don't have a lot of money either to be spending on a new camera… so I'm hoping to at least get a nice camera for a good price!
Thank you!

Comparing a P&S to a DSLR is like comparing a bicycle to a Harley. Yes they both have two wheels, but that is about the end of it.
It is recommended that whether you choose a Canon or Nikon system, that you spend as little as you can on the body and buy a second lens.

it really depends on what you want. there are a lot of cheap SLR's from other brands that are available won't have as a good of a selection of lenses as canon or nikon if you ever decide to go further into photography.
but if you want a canon, i suggest you get either the XS or XSi. if you feel like spending a little bit more, they just released a new one called the t1i. the cameras have 'live-view' which allow you to shoot from the screen just like from your SD1100. if you don't feel like spending that much money and if you can handle shooting through the viewfinder (holding it up to your eye), get the XT or XTi. even though they don't have live view, they are canon's most bought dslr's. i personally have a XTi.
but if you don't feel like getting a canon, you can go on the other side of the spectrum and buy a nikon. i'm not a nikon user myself but from what i've heard, the D40 or the D60 give you the best bang for the buck. they don't have live view like the XS or XSi does though. the D90 does have it though.

an xsi is a good choice but might be a little expensive (around 600)
you can buy a used 30D which some claim to be better then the xsi for around 300…
the best adivce anyone can give you is to really find out everything about DSLR's… know the len's, know the bodies the different formats, what an f stop is what the "mm's" mean and all that…
that will give you a better outlook on what you really need and what would suit you.

Canon Rebel XS is a good Canon DSLR with cheapest price.
